For months, people have been asking me whether I still trusted gov’t data. My answer was always the same: The stats agencies faced longstanding challenges, some of which Trump was making worse. But there was no sign of political meddling.

“This is not famine. This is weaponised hunger. The deliberate strangling of a people - not with rope, but with red tape. Not just with bombs, but with bureaucracy… The world did not merely fail Gaza. It abandoned her. And in doing so, it exposed itself.”
This is extermination as the world watches.

Gaza is a mirror reflecting the world's absolute, unvarnished shame
Netanyahu was allowed to turn food into leverage and treat the relief of a besieged population as a prize to be bartered. This is not just immoral or illegal, it is obscene
